Detailed Description
From the mountainous region of Colombia, in an area steeped in biodiversity, along the western slope of the Andes, is the Bitaco tea estate. The gentle mist from the mountains, rich soil, and ample rainfall all stimulate the growth of the tea bushes, producing a tea with unique characteristics.

Bitaco Tea owns over 200 acres of tea plants that are cultivated at over 6,000 feet above sea level in the region of Choco. This region enjoys a high rainfall and has exceptional biodiversity. The tea gardens are located next to a thriving, protected rain forest, the Bitaco Regional Forest Reserve, where there is a wide diversity of flora and fauna: 256 bird species, 28 amphibian species, 23 reptile species and 772 species of plants. The garden, located near the Equator, enjoys a consistent climate which results in a bountiful production of tasty, delicate tea-tips that are picked and processed throughout the year.

Bitaco Tea not only cultivates exceptional teas, they also are committed to their community. They created the Agricola Himalaya Foundation to develop and improve programs focusing on education, especially for local children. Activities focus on the improvement of infrastructure, recreational opportunities, local culture and access to technology. See more at: Agricola Himalaya Foundation

This blend is a delicious combination of Colombian green tea and fruits (lulo, starfruit and mango). The starfruit is from the Amazon, the lulo from northwestern South America, and the mango from Central America. This blend is distinguished by its high acidity and an exotic flavor as mysterious as the deep forests, with a residual sweetness from the mango. Splendid served hot or iced.

Ingredients: Colombian green tea and fruits (lulo, starfruit and mango).

Brew tea at 180º - steep for 2 minutes.

A tasty cup every time 4/11/2022
I always enjoy this tea. It pairs well with a snack (think some mandarin and some chocolate) or all on its own. It's one I would go out of my way to buy again

a nice solid, green tea flavor. 11/8/2021
I like this blend because there is nothing artificial-tasting about it. I don't really taste the tropical fruits mentioned in the description, but I do taste a natural, earthy green tea flavor which is very pleasant. Sometimes I sweeten with honey, but mostly I drink plain.

Really interesting and unique 8/9/2018
This isn't quite like a flavored tea in the usual sense. The fruit flavor is definitely there, but it's subtle and blends with the tea instead of overpowering it. The result is really bright, refreshing, and unlike anything else I've ever had.
